dlc-3 encodes, by alternative splicing, two isoforms of a putative dynein light chain 1; DLC-3 is orthologous to human DYNLL1 (OMIM:601562) and DYNLL2 (OMIM:608942), but much more divergent from them than its paralog DLC-1; its other paralogs are DLC-4 (97% identical to DLC-3), DLC-2, and DLC-5/-6; DLC-3 has no obvious function in mass RNAi assays.
Predicted to enable dynein intermediate chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule-based process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and microtubule. Predicted to be part of cytoplasmic dynein complex. Expressed in body wall musculature; distal tip cell; and vulval muscle.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
